Twin Lakes is home to Lake Mary and Elizabeth Lake

The village of Twin Lakes' name derives from the two prominent bodies of water which rests at the heart of the community: Elizabeth Lake and Lake Mary. Both lakes add a sense of serenity to the area and make lakefront living an enticing facet of this region. Located in western Kenosha County, Wisconsin, Twin Lakes sits on the Wisconsin-Illinois state border and runs east of U.S. Highway 12. An added benefit of the location is that is a 90-minute commute to downtown Chicago.

Each lake has a great park

Although residents have both lakes nearby, there are additional outdoor areas that promote recreation and communal gathering. Millennium Park, situated near the serene Elizabeth Lake, offers a plethora of recreational delights for residents of all ages. From a vibrant play area to exhilarating sledding hills in winter, a pavilion for gatherings and walking trails for leisurely strolls. Additionally, a soccer/football field beckons sports enthusiasts, completing the park's diverse offerings.

Venturing to Lance Park, which bumps up against the picturesque shores of Lake Mary, promises a waterfront recreational area with an array of activities. Anglers can cast their lines from the fishing pier, while boating enthusiasts can launch their vessels from the convenient boat launch. A beach area invites sun-soaked relaxation, and basketball hoops add a dash of athleticism to the lakeside experience. The newly constructed waterfront amphitheater stands as a cultural hub, hosting everything from the Park Commission's Movies in the Parks Series to the thrilling performances of the Aquanuts Water Ski Show.
